Example input: `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/etc/xdg/rosa-xfce-config:/etc/xdg"` Output before this patch: `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/etc/xdg/rosa-xfce-config:/etc/xdg:/etc/xdg"` But there is no need to duplicate `/etc/xdg` in the tail. Output after this patch: `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/etc/xdg/rosa-xfce-config:/etc/xdg"` The scripts that sets XDG_CONFIG_DIRS: https://abf.io/soft/rosa-xfce-config/blob/04b69c389d/profile.d/10-rosa-xfce-config-xdg.sh Tests for that script: https://abf.io/soft/rosa-xfce-config/blob/04b69c389d/profile.d/test_10-rosa-xfce-config-xdg.sh I do not see why that my script must not append "/etc/xdg", so fixing startxfce4. This case-esac code is compatible with POSIX shell (https://stackoverflow.com/a/2830416), but tested it only with bash. Diff is bellow, `git am`-able patch is attached.
